Apologies if this is covered somewhere else, but could not find any described situation matching mine.
System details:
-13" MBP Retina on 256GB SSD (32GB still of available space)
-VDJ 8.2 (latest build) (Pro/Infinity)
-Pioneer XDJ-AERO (latest Firmware)
(otherwise please see picture attached, also for the settings of VDJ 8.2)
I dj once a month at a gig that is purpose built for (rave) parties, where sound can achieve extreme levels. It has top/state of the art Hi-Fi sound system, separate power supplies for lights and music, etc.
At the last two gigs two different songs (randomly) went silent/skipped for 2-3 seconds. One time it happened on Deck A, the other on Deck B. I was able to see that both times it happened in the second half of the relevant songs, if not more towards the end.
The podium where the DJs set up is right on top of the bass, but a SSD hard drive should not be affected by this. Also, there is a smoke machine, however both times it was not on.
Note: when I set up the system at home, the same two songs (and for that matter any songs) do not skip and play smoothly.
What could be the issue? Would anyone know what a possible solution can be?
Many thanks in advance.

This is prob the same issue a lot of us with macs and pioneer controllers where having. The only thing after a freakin year that fixed this it seems was to update the Os to Sierra the latest OSx. Yosemite and El Capitan is suspected to have an issue with midi audio causing this to happen

As I Said... Could be the OSX

Can any one of the developers or staff confirm this?
I have experienced the same issue myself.

I can't. I recently did a stress test on my old mac mini (regular hdd, 4gb ram, i5) with Pioneer DDJ-SX, CDJ2000NXS2 and Numark Dashboard connected at the same time, playing in automix for hours with latency set to 128 samples, and didn't experience any sound drop at all.

Ok. Is it safer to just upgrade to Sierra?

Maybe that's the reason you had no issues. The software was running but the hardware was not being used (i.e. buttons pushed, faders moved, jogwheels turned etc).

So a friend of mine has the Pioneer DDJ SR. He upgraded to Sierra and is still getting freezes and dropouts.

Ok, but what will happen if you upgrade.

Hi All - thank you very much for your contributions so far. I will upgrade to the latest OSx and report here about progress in my situation set up. Note that after the upgrade I will only know for sure after the next gig (20 November), as in the home setting the issue does not seem to occur.
Thanks again!
Thanks again!

No issues with El Cap running any hardware that I've thrown at it.
And I'm running QTZ files, Resolume and VDJ with timecodes most of the time. I have multiple USB cameras hooked up with a USB monitor and either a iPad or Android tablet controlling either VDJ or Resolume.
Honestly dont think its the OS .......
